I missed yesterday, not because I was shopping, but because Scott is using our computer to do homework  and has been doing TONS of research.   So what was I grateful for? I was grateful for a lovely weekend and spending it with these two. They have been great this weekend. They have worked hard, made me laugh, and even played a game or two. Love them. Now, for the last day of the month. Whenever we have the kids home, I pick a morning and make sourdough pancakes.

Thanksgiving Past

I hope that you don't mind a little nostalgia.   I have been thinking of these pictures all morning long. I am thankful for some very fun Thanksgivings at Grandma and Grandpa Hall's house. The kids always had a great time.   Here is Pam with Scott and Callie, and Todd in the corner, and here is Andrea with Callie. I have many happy memories of  food, family and fun. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

My mother always made great rolls. Not perfect rolls, but they always tasted great.   She made Parker house Rolls, which I can make, however, I make my rolls with the use of the bread machine. I am so thankful for it.  It always works. I love the honey wheat and the butter rolls. They may not be perfect,  but they taste good.

My Wisconsin Family

I am also very grateful for Todd, Katelyn and our very cute grandson. Even if they are BYU fans. Todd take good care of his family and Katelyn is fun and ever so patient with Peter. I just love them all. Let's face it, the best part of life probably starts with grandchildren.

Christmas

Is it wrong to be thankful for Christmas before we have celebrated Thanksgiving? I know some people feel like we rush it. Well, I look forward to the Christmas Season. I love the lights, the music, and the smells. I  It's a time to think of others instead of yourself, therefor, people are more pleasant to be around. Only one month to go.
